Abstract

Chinese philosophy can be said is that "life and life" philosophy, in terms of its source, I can be pushed to the "students" this ambiguity concept. This paper argues that Lao Tzu's "health" concept must be "yes", "no", "return" to fully grasp the concept of three, and a discussion of this esoteric but extremely important concept contains a universe theory, ontology, and training efforts and other rich philosophical concept to grasp this concept, "moral" concept to each other in more than one meaning in the context of the concept and get a consistency throughout. The Chinese philosophy is also the philosophy of "generative generation", and the origin of the concept can be traced back to the Dao De Jing, where the term 'generation' is obscure but significant. This essay would like to expound this concept by appealing to three concepts: "being", "non-being", "return to Dao". After thinking over these concepts, I can understand that the concept of "generation" is not only applied to cosmology, but also to ontology and the doctrine of self cultivation. By revealing this obscure but crucial concept, we can unify all the equivocal meaning of different concepts with reference to it
